On the day of the county test, Chen didn't sleep all night, got up before dawn to make breakfast, made her two thin dough cakes the size of an iron pot, and filled them with water in a bamboo tube. After Du Jinning got up, she went to check her test basket again, and loaded food and water into it.

Du Jinning said helplessly: "Mother, I said that I don't need to prepare food for me, I estimate that I will come out at noon, and I will rush home for lunch when the time comes." ”

"What if you don't do well when you have a problem? Do you stay in there hungry for most of the day, or do you come out with a hasty problem just for lunch? Chen glanced at her, "You have to be prepared." Isn't there a saying that you should be prepared? ”

"Okay, you have a point." Du Jinning had no choice but to say.

"My mother knows that you don't want to eat the food that others have pinched, so my mother deliberately spread a thin cake, the kind that can transmit light, and let them pick it up and take a look at it when they are checked, no need to crush it. When the time comes, you can rip off the edge when you eat. Chen said.

This is what she specially learned from Xie and Zhang.

"It's still thoughtful, mother." Du Jinning slapped a sycophant, ate the last bite of food, took the wet towel handed over by Du Fanghui, wiped his face and hands, stood up, and lifted the test basket, "Let's go." ”

Du Fangfei took the basket over: "I'll take it." ”

Du Fangling and Du Fanghui saw that the three of them were going out, so they hurriedly begged, "Can we go too?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Du Jinning turned around, "My mother and eldest sister also sent me into the examination room, so I went to Xu's house to stay, and I didn't wait outside." ”

The reason why she didn't stop Chen and Du Fangfei was because Chen and Du Fangfei were worried that her daughter would be found and couldn't sit still at home. Du Fangling and Du Fanghui don't need to join in the fun.

"Dried tofu and eggs don't need to be marinated?" Chen turned around and glared at Du Fangling, "Work hard at home." With that, he went out with Du Fangfei and Du Jinning.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, and there was a certain distance from here to the county school, so Chen specially ordered a mule cart. By this time the mule cart and the driver were already waiting outside.

Seeing them come out, the coachman hurriedly stepped forward to take the test basket, but Du Fangfei avoided his hand and said, "It's not heavy, let's just take it ourselves." ”

After getting into the carriage, she whispered to Du Jinning: "You must take the test basket yourself for a while, and don't let others carry it." If someone puts something in your basket, you can't tell if you jump into the Yellow River. ”

All these have been explained by the gentlemen of the academy.

Du Jinning asked Du Fangfei with a smile: "This is what my brother-in-law told you?" ”

Du Fangfei's face flushed, but he still nodded.

She and Xu Chengyuan have been married for half a year, the husband and wife are affectionate, and the Xie family is also very good to her.

Du Jinning and Chen glanced at each other, and they were both very relieved.

"Your aunt still talks to you? Don't be thin-skinned and can't pull your face down to drive her away, be careful that your mother-in-law gets angry. Chen said.

Xu Chengyuan, the eldest aunt who used to force them to repay their debts, since she saw Du Fangfei's marriage when she got married, she called Du Fangfei an affectionate, and took some small snacks to chat with Du Fangfei in three days, wanting to make friends with Du Fangfei.

Du Fangfei nodded; "I know. Although I am good-natured, I am not that indistinguishable from wrong. I ignored her every day she came, and she didn't come now. ”

"That's right. I live my life by myself. If you don't handle these things well, even if you marry a good family, you will still have a bad life......"

Regarding the county test, Chen has been nagging Du Jinning in the past few days, and let out cruel words, saying that if she said it again, she would be so nervous that she couldn't sleep.

So at this time, Chen didn't dare to nag Du Jinning, so he had to talk to Du Fangfei about some family things to relieve his nervousness.

Before you know it, the county school has arrived. When Du Jinning got out of the car, a few people greeted him: "Du Jinning, you are here." ”

She turned her head to look, but it was Guan Jiaze, Qi Muyuan, Zhang Hongwen and Xu Chengyuan.

Xu Chengyuan saw his mother-in-law, his wife, and his brother-in-law coming, and hurriedly came up to greet Chen.

"Why are you all here? It's just a county test, can you use labor to mobilize the public? Du Jinning walked over and said with a smile.

"Yo, you seem to have a lot of confidence in yourself." Guan Jiaze gave Du Jinning a punch, "Just allow you to see you off when we take the county test, and we won't let us see you off." ”

"Okay, okay." It's all here, and Du Jinning naturally has to accept everyone's kindness.

Qi Muyuan glanced at Du Jinning and smiled: "It seems to be quite relaxed, not nervous at all." ”

"That is, and it doesn't depend on whom." Du Jinning said with a smile.

In her previous life, she was a person who had passed countless big and small exams, even the white-headed old man in the county examination room, she did not necessarily take as many exams as her. Moreover, she looks at these fame like floating clouds, so she naturally won't be nervous.

"It's still your big heart. I didn't refer to it this year, but when I saw you guys entering, I started to panic. Zhang Hongwen said with a smile.

The gentleman of the academy said that Zhang Hongwen was not yet ready for the exam and suggested that he take the exam again next year, so he did not take this year's county exam.

Du Jinning patted him on the shoulder and didn't speak.

According to Zhang Hongwen's situation, he should take the exam this year, it doesn't matter if he can't take the exam, he has experienced at least one big exam, and he will be much more relaxed when he comes back to the exam next year.

However, the college also has its own considerations, just like the college entrance examination before the expansion of enrollment in the previous life, the school will screen some people out during the graduation examination and advise them not to take the college entrance examination, so that it will not affect the school's college entrance examination acceptance rate. The same is true for the academy, if there are only ten people who take the exam, and the county test is six, that is a sixty percent success rate. But if all the 30 students in Class A come to take the exam, and the six students are still selected, the winning rate is only 20%, and the reputation of saying it is not good.

Moreover, some candidates are more nervous the more they take the exam, and the more nervous they are, the more they fail the exam. Therefore, it is not necessarily a good idea to encourage students to take the exam before the time comes.

Afraid that Du Jinning would be nervous, everyone didn't talk about the exam, but just chatted and talked about the teahouse and bookstore. However, it didn't take long for the gong to sound, and when it was time to enter, the gentleman of the academy began to gather the students. Du Jinning took the test basket carried by Xu Chengyuan, waved his hand to everyone, and walked to the gate of the county school.

Chen and Du Fangfei both secretly clenched their fists and stared at Du Jinning's figure tightly.

Xu Chengyuan thought that they were worried that Du Jinning would not be able to take the exam, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, with Jinning's level, he was able to pass the county exam last year, let alone study in the academy for another year." This kind of exam is a minor problem for him, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all. ”

Guan Jiaze and several others also comforted one after another.

Chen smiled stiffly and thanked everyone for their kindness: "I know, thank you." His eyes were still staring at Du Jinning for a moment.
